Study: Men Enjoy Seeing Bad People Suffer Wednesday, January 18, 2006
NEW YORK — Bill Clinton said he felt others' pain. But a new brain-scanning study suggests that when guys see a cheater get a mild electric shock, they don't feel his pain much at all. In fact, they rather enjoy it.
In contrast, women's brains showed they do empathize with the cheater's pain and don't get a kick out it.

Men compete; women empathize. No harm in either.
I'm generalizing of course.

I was always under the impression that women like to suffer bad men and see good men suffer.

Suffering for bad behavior is justice. Suffering begets repentence. As one person put it, "People will change when it hurts enough."
I suspect that most men like to see justice served, but would not enjoy seeing someone suffer out of proportion with their crime.

This study is a waste of time and I am sure a lot of money. I don't lie because I feel others pain, I lie because I don't want to get caught in the activity I have gotten myself into...
To: Izzy Dunne
If bad people didn't suffer there would be no justice.
